Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, we did see that. After he carried the old man on his back, he kept trying to resist."

Minister He, who was sitting next to Li Huaide, felt a little sorry for the deaf old lady, who was in her eighties or nineties, and said something on her behalf.

Li Huaide turned to Minister He with a slightly ingratiating smile and nodded in agreement: "Minister He is right. This He Yuzhu is really outrageous, abusing the old man's power to act recklessly!"

Liu Haizhong, who was standing nearby, had just come over to speak when he heard Li Huaide's voice, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Minister He...?

As the head of the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide would naturally not address the wrong person; what could elicit such a fawning expression from him...

He was completely dumbfounded.

Li Huaide was the highest-ranking official he could imagine he could get close to. Who would have thought there would be a master at the main table?

minister!

What level of leader would that be?

In this courtyard, perhaps only Sha Zhu would believe that the working class is not afraid of any bureaucrats, and even took the initiative to stand up against Li Huaide.

Even someone like Liu Haizhong, who was obsessed with officialdom, trembled upon hearing Minister He's identity!

He practically grabbed the arm of his son, who had come with him, and with his help, returned to his seat.

The leaders at that table were too high-ranking; he really didn't dare to go over and talk to them.

"He Yuzhu, did you hear that? The old lady didn't even say she wanted to sit at the head table, and you're jumping around like a monkey. Are you crazy?"

Zhou Feng stood face to face with Sha Zhu. At some point, Bai Lang and Tie Jianguo had sandwiched Sha Zhu between them.

They also took the time to catch up on all the characters in the world of Siheyuan.

The guy in front of me is, at best, a street thug who relies entirely on brute force to fight.

Does he even deserve to be called the God of War?

If Zhou Feng hadn't spoken yet, the two of them would have already made their move, breaking one of his arms to see how he could continue to act so arrogantly!

Sha Zhu panicked a little when he saw this.

Putting everything else aside, the burly man standing behind Zhou Feng was as strong as a bear, and his eyes were quite intimidating.

He dared not claim he could take down the other party. Besides, Zhou Feng had already appeared; to attack him in front of him would be to utterly offend him.

At this point, Sha Zhu still naively thought that there was still room for reconciliation between him and Zhou Feng because he had brought the deaf old lady to cause trouble!

"Zhou...Zhou Feng, today is your big day, I don't want to upset you. I'll take my seat now. I have things to do this afternoon, I need to cook for the big boss!"

As Zhou Feng got closer and closer, Sha Zhu panicked and even brought up the name of the big leader.

This was also the last card he had hidden in his heart.

"Oh? A high-ranking leader? Which high-ranking leader do you cook for?"

"He is referring to Director He, the high-ranking leader he is referring to is Director Xu, who is in charge of our factory."

Minister He asked with some curiosity, and Li Huaide quickly lowered his voice to explain, which made the other party smile with relief.

"Old Xu, it's no big deal if you skip a few meals. I'll go to his place later and have a good chat with him."

In just a few words, Minister He severed the connection between Sha Zhu and the top leader.

Although the high-ranking official who cooked for Sha Zhu was also at the ministerial level, he was clearly different from Minister He.

Although the former also wields considerable power, Minister He's responsibilities are broader, and he reports directly to the highest-ranking official.

The most obvious difference is that Minister Xu was not even qualified to attend the previous organizational meeting, nor did he have the right to know about Zhou Feng's existence.

Otherwise, Zhou Feng would have entered the steel rolling mill as soon as he arrived in this world. That was his jurisdiction, so how could he not send someone to try and get close to him?

Even Li Huaide, his direct subordinate, was actually contacted and arranged to be by Zhou Feng's side by Sun Yue. This is really ridiculous!

"Alright, Sha Zhu, do you have anything else to say? Show us who you know or what kind of connections you have, or you won't have a chance."

Zhou Feng looked at Sha Zhu with some impatience.

That clueless bastard dared to cause trouble at his wedding. He'll never know that the King of Horses has three eyes if we don't teach him a lesson!

Seeing Zhou Feng say such things, Sha Zhu stood there with a flushed face, not knowing what to say, and Qin Huairu couldn't sit still any longer.

Just as she was about to step forward to smooth things over, she noticed a withered hand grabbing hers; it was the deaf old lady sitting to the side.

"Girl, have you thought this through? That Zhou Feng is no pushover. If you get involved in something, you'll be crushed to pieces."

As soon as the deaf old lady finished speaking, Qin Huairu suddenly noticed that Jia Zhangshi, Qin Jingru, and Lou Xiao'e at the same table were all looking at her with unfriendly eyes.

Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e are the easiest to understand. They already had ambiguous relationships with Zhou Feng, so it's understandable that they glared at her.

But my own mother-in-law…

She agreed to repair her relationship with Shaju before, right?

"Are you crazy? You've lost your mind after meeting that idiot Zhu, haven't you?"

Jia Zhangshi spoke through gritted teeth, her expression filled with hatred as she looked at Qin Huairu.

"what?"

Qin Huairu didn't react for a moment, but Jia Zhangshi lowered her voice and said, "Didn't you see Sha Zhu and Zhou Feng confronting each other? What are you trying to do? Are you crazy?"

Jia Zhangshi knew their family's situation very well.

Zhou Feng didn't want to pay any attention to them at all. If it weren't for Qin Jingru's connection, they probably would have never spoken to each other again.

It's true that repairing relations with Sha Zhu is a way to leave a way out for our family, but we can't afford to provoke Zhou Feng!

"I don't know any leaders, I have no connections whatsoever, I'm just an ordinary working-class person! I'd like to see what you can do to me!"

Since even bringing out the big boss couldn't suppress Zhou Feng, Sha Zhu simply gave up and went all out.

So what if the other party is a leader?

What law did he break?

Isn't it just about securing a seat for the elders in the courtyard?

If he's not given the main seat, fine, he can just leave. What can Zhou Feng do to him?

"Old Bai, help me take him down."

As soon as Zhou Feng finished speaking, Bai Ling and Bai Shoude exchanged a glance, almost unable to react.

The white wolf behind Sha Zhu instantly sprang into action, dislocating his arm joints in the blink of an eye and pinning him to the ground.

"You...you all..."

Before Sha Zhu could finish speaking, a rag was stuffed into his mouth, and Sun Yue stood up as well.

"Excuse me, everyone, I'll have someone take this comrade to the Special Operations Division first. There are some things we need his cooperation with in our investigation."

As he spoke, Sun Yue led the white wolf and the silly Zhu he was escorting out of the courtyard.

This is such a small matter that he doesn't need to go back to the Special Operations Division. He can just tell the driver outside to take Sha Zhu back.

For a moment, Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai exchanged a glance and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

Only four words came to mind for the two of them: Sha Zhu is finished!
